Convert PowerPoint to PDF free

About this tool

Turn a .pptx presentation into a PDF with one page per slide, sized like the slide. Each slide is drawn in your browser and saved as an image, so the layout is close to PowerPoint but not pixel-perfect. The file never leaves your device.

The PDF is image-based, so its text cannot be selected, copied or searched, and links, animations, transitions and speaker notes are dropped. Fonts that are not installed on your device are replaced by similar ones. You can convert all slides or a range such as 1-5, and choose a smaller file, standard quality or sharp text.

When to use it

• Send a deck to someone who has no PowerPoint or whose version shows it differently.
• Hand in slides for a class or a review as a single PDF.
• Print a presentation as handouts from any computer or phone.
• Keep a fixed copy of a deck as it looked on a given day.

How to convert PowerPoint to PDF free

1. Choose a .pptx file.
2. Pick the slides and the image quality.
3. Convert and check the PDF.

Tips and limits

• Check every page against your slides. Charts, SmartArt, unusual shapes and rare fonts are the parts most likely to look different.
• Only .pptx files open. For an older .ppt file, open it in PowerPoint, Keynote or LibreOffice Impress and save it as .pptx first.
• Pick Sharp text (PNG) for slides with small text or diagrams, and Smaller file when the PDF has to fit an email limit.
• Up to 200 slides are converted at a time. For a longer deck, convert it in ranges such as 1-200 and 201-400, then join the parts with Merge PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Can I select or search the text in the PDF?

No. Each page is a picture of the slide, so the text is not selectable and search finds nothing. If you need real text, use PowerPoint's own Save as PDF.

Will it look exactly like my PowerPoint file?

It will be close, but not identical. Fonts that are missing on your device are substituted, and complex charts, SmartArt and effects may differ. Check the result before you send it.

Does it support the older .ppt format?

No, only .pptx. Open the old file in PowerPoint, Keynote or LibreOffice Impress, save it as .pptx, and convert that copy.

Is my presentation uploaded?

No. The slides are drawn and converted in your browser, and the file stays on your device.

Are animations, links and speaker notes kept?

No. The PDF shows each slide in its final state as a still image. Animations, transitions, hyperlinks, embedded video and speaker notes are dropped.

How many slides can I convert?

Up to 200 slides at a time, from files up to 100 MB. Longer decks can be converted in ranges and joined afterwards.
